Can anyone point me in the direction of the website that was selling a
dedicated clock drive & tripod for small telescopes/35mm cameras? I think
they were being sold for around £100-125.

Cheers

Something like this?
<http://www.scopeoptics.com/Orion_Mini_EQ_Scope_Camera_Mount.html>


or in UK:

for £55. Actually, I was also interested. Does anyone have any good experience with this? Is it possible to get decent results with it or it's just a "toy" and you really need a decent equatorial mount? It looks great to travel light with just the camera in places wher light pollution is not as bad as where I live!

I've been a bit too quick: I see you have to add £45 for the motor.
